    <p>ECF 3.4 includes a remote services <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=310580">discovery provider based upon DNS-SD</a>.  DNS-SD is a WAN network service discovery
    protocol based upon standard DNS. This allows <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/OSGi_4.2_Remote_Services_and_ECF">OSGi 4.2 standard remote services</a> to be exposed for WAN-based service discovery using DNS. 
    DNS-SD requires configuring an authoritative DNS server in order to work, so to use ECF DNS-SD please see the <a href="https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ecf-dev">ecf-dev mailing list</a> 
    and <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/DNS-SD_based_wide-area_ECF_discovery_provider">this wiki page</a>.

    <p><a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/REST_abstraction_for_ECF">ECF 3.3 has a REST Remote Services API</a>.  This API allows the usage of several serialization
    formats...with JSON and XML supported in ECF 3.3.  Now, support for Atom/RSS-based serialization for REST-based remote services has
    been added.  This makes it easy for clients to use Atom/RSS in their REST clients (that use the ECF's REST API).

    This release includes a number of

    custom Event serialization/deserialization of OSGi Event instances, and to easily customize/add Event persistence.  See the javadocs for
    the DistributeEventAdmin class <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/eventadmin/DistributedEventAdmin.html">here</a>.
